ARCELORMITTAL AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013

(in millions of U.S. dollars)

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of ArcelorMittal and Subsidiaries (“ArcelorMittal” or the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 as well as for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 (the “Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. They should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.

 

Accounting policies

 

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available for sale financial assets, derivative financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value less cost to sell, and inventories, which are measured at the lower of net realizable value or cost. Unless specifically described herein, the accounting policies used to prepare the Interim Financial Statements are the policies described in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”, IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the amendments to IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” as issued by the IASB on May 13, 2011, all effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. On January 1, 2013, the Company also adopted IFRIC 20, “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine”, as issued by the IASB on October 19, 2011 and the amendments to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”,  both effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In addition, ArcelorMittal adopted the amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, both issued by the IASB on June 16, 2011.

•      IFRS 10 establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. It replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.

•      IFRS 11 provides a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. It replaces IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”.

•      IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.

•      IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies when other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements.

•      Amendments to IAS 27 were made in connection with the previous new issued standards and reduced the scope of IAS 27 which now only deals with the requirements for separate financial statements. Requirements for consolidated financial statements are now contained in IFRS 10. These amendments require that when an entity prepares separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are accounted for either at cost, or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

•      The new IAS 28 amended standard supersedes IAS 28 “Investments in Associates” and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. These amendments define 'significant influence' and provide guidance on how the equity method of accounting is to be applied (including exemptions from applying the equity method in some cases). It also prescribes how investments in associates and joint ventures should be tested for impairment.

•      Amendments to IAS 1 changes the disclosures of items presented in other comprehensive income in the statements of comprehensive income.

•      Amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” include new disclosures requirements regarding the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities.

F-6

 


 

 

 •     Amendment to IAS 19 makes significant changes to the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits, and to the disclosures for all employee benefits.

•      IFRIC 20 clarifies the requirements for accounting for stripping costs associated with waste removal in surface mining, including when production stripping costs should be recognized as an asset, how the asset is initially recognized, and subsequent measurement. The Interpretation requires stripping activity costs which provide improved access to ore to be capitalized as a non-current 'stripping activity asset' when certain criteria are met. The stripping activity asset is depreciated or amortized on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity, using the units of production method unless another method is more appropriate.  

 

On January 1, 2013, the Company also adopted various amendments to the following standards published by the IASB on May 17, 2012 in the framework of Annual Improvements 2009-2011 as part of its annual improvements process:

·         IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, provides clarification of the requirements for comparative information

·         IAS 16 “Property, Plant & Equipment”, provides additional guidance on the classification of servicing equipment

·         IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, clarifies the accounting for the tax effect of a distribution to holders of equity instruments in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”

·         IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, clarifies interim reporting of segment information for total assets in order to enhance consistency with the requirements in IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”

·         IFRS 1 “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”

 

In addition, the Company adopted on January 1, 2013 the amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 published by the IASB on June 28, 2012. The amendments provide additional transition relief, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Furthermore, for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities, the amendments remove the requirement to present comparative information for periods before IFRS 12 is first applied. The effective date of the amendments is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, which is aligned with the effective date of IFRS 10, 11 and 12. The Company applied transition relief as described above with respect to the adoption of IFRS 12.

 

All standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company are applicable retrospectively, except for IFRS 13 which is applicable prospectively.

 

The adoption of the amendments to IAS 19 significantly impacted the financial statements of the Company. In connection with the adoption of IFRS 11 and the amendments to IAS 19, note 16 presents the transition from the statements of operations, the statements of other comprehensive income, the statements of changes in net equity and  the statements of cash flows  as reported to the recast statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The adoption of the other new standards, amendments and interpretation did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS recognition and measurement principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

NOTE 2 – JOINT OPERATIONS

On January 11, 2013, ArcelorMittal acquired the control of the joint operation DJ Galvanizing, a hot dip galvanizing line located in Canada, through  the acquisition of the 50% interest held by the other joint operator. The total consideration paid was 57. The Company recognized in cost of sales a gain of 47 relating to the fair valuation of the previously held 50% interest. DJ Galvanizing is part of the Flat Carbon Americas reportable segment.

On February 20, 2013, Nunavut Iron Ore Inc. (“Nunavut Iron Ore”) increased its shareholding in Baffinland Iron Mines Corp. (“Baffinland”) from 30% to 50% following a joint operation agreement signed with ArcelorMittal. Baffinland, which is part of the Mining reportable segment, owns the Mary River project, which has direct shipped, high grade iron ore assets on Baffin Island in Nunavut (Canada). In consideration, Nunavut Iron Ore correspondingly increased its share of funding for development of Baffinland’s Mary River iron ore project. ArcelorMittal retained a 50% interest in the project as well as operator and marketing rights. As a result of the joint operating agreement, ArcelorMittal has derecognized the assets (including a portion of the goodwill allocated to the Mining segment for 91), liabilities and non-controlling interests for 508. The Company recognized 139 for the cash consideration received (50% of the total consideration of 278) and its 50% interest in the fair value of Baffinland’s assets and liabilities for 392. The resulting difference was a gain of 23 recorded in cost of sales and was computed as follows:

NOTE 3 – TRANSACTIONS WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Pursuant to an agreement dated December 31, 2012, ArcelorMittal Mines Canada Inc. (“AMMC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, and a consortium led by POSCO and China Steel Corporation (“CSC”) created joint venture partnerships to hold ArcelorMittal’s Labrador Trough iron ore mining and infrastructure assets. On March 15, 2013 and May 30, 2013, the consortium, which also includes certain financial investors, completed the acquisition of a 15% interest in the joint ventures for total consideration of 1,100 in cash settled in two installments of 810 and 290 for an 11.05% interest and a 3.95% interest, respectively. As part of the transaction, POSCO and CSC entered into long-term iron ore off-take agreements proportionate to their joint venture interests.  Upon completion of the sale, the Company recognized non-controlling interests for 374 and an increase of 726 directly in equity.

 

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

                Impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to 39 and were primarily related to the closure of the organic coating and tin plate lines in Florange site in France which is part of the Flat Carbon Europe reportable segment. Impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to 69 and were primarily related to the extended idling of the electric arc furnace and continuous caster at Schifflange site in Luxembourg which is part of the Long Carbon Americas and Europe reportable segment.

 

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES

 

                Inventory, net of the allowance for slow-moving inventory, excess of cost over net realizable value and obsolescence as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, is comprised of the following:

NOTE 6 – EQUITY

 

Share capital

 

Following the completion of an offering of ordinary shares on January 14, 2013, ArcelorMittal increased share capital by €455 (608) from €6,428 (9,403) to €6,883 (10,011) through the issuance of 104,477,612 new shares fully paid up. The aggregate number of shares issued and fully paid up increased to 1,665,392,222. The ordinary shares do not have a nominal value.

 

Authorized share capital

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on May 8, 2013, the shareholders approved an increase of the authorized share capital of ArcelorMittal by €524 million represented by 223 million shares, or approximately 8% of ArcelorMittal’s outstanding capital. Following this approval, which is valid for five years, the total authorized share capital was €8.2 billion represented by 1,996 million shares without nominal value.

 

Treasury shares

F-8

 


 

 

 

ArcelorMittal held, indirectly and directly, approximately 11.8 million and 11.8 million treasury shares as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Dividends

 

On May 8, 2013 at the Annual General Shareholders’ meeting, the shareholders approved the Board of Directors’ recommendation to reduce the Company’s dividend to $0.20 per share for the full year of 2013. The full year dividend paid in 2012 amounted to 1,162.

 

The dividend for the full year of 2013 amounted to 332 and was paid on July 15, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, dividend payments of 294 and 294 ($0.1875 per share per quarter) were made on March 13, 2012 and June 14, 2012, respectively.

Mandatorily convertible notes

 

On January 16, 2013, ArcelorMittal issued mandatorily convertible subordinated notes (“MCNs”) with net proceeds of 2,222. The notes have a maturity of 3 years, are issued at 100% of the principal amount and are mandatorily converted into ordinary shares of ArcelorMittal at maturity unless converted earlier at the option of the holders or ArcelorMittal or upon specified events in accordance with the terms of the MCNs. The notes pay a coupon of 6.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The initial minimum conversion price of the MCNs was equal to $16.75, corresponding to the placement price of shares in the concurrent ordinary shares offering as described above, and the initial maximum conversion price was set at approximately 125% of the minimum conversion price (corresponding to $20.94), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company determined the notes met the definition of a compound financial instrument and as such determined the fair value of the financial liability component of the bond was 384 on the date of issuance and recognized it as other long-term obligation. The value of the equity component of 1,838 was determined based upon the difference of the cash proceeds received from the issuance of the bond and the fair value of the financial liability component on the date of issuance and is recognized in equity.

 

 

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAX

 

The tax expense for the period is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires management to make its best estimate of annual pre-tax income for the year. During the year, management regularly updates its estimates based on changes in various factors such as geographical mix of operating profit, prices, shipments, product mix, plant operating performance and cost estimates, including labor, raw materials, energy and pension and other postretirement benefits.

The income tax benefit (expense) was 394 and (196) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the income tax expense is primarily due to the increase in tax losses unrecognized as deferred tax assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

NOTE 8 – INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES

 

On February 6, 2013, the Company’s interest in the associate Hunan Valin Steel Tube and Wire Co. Ltd. (“Hunan Valin”) decreased from 30% to 25% following the sale of a 5% stake to Hunan Valin Iron & Steel Group Co, Ltd. (“Valin Group”). The resulting gain on disposal was recorded as income from investments in associates and joint ventures and amounted to 19 including the proportional reclassification of the accumulated positive foreign exchange translation difference from other comprehensive income to the statements of operations of 14. The total proceeds of 96 were reinvested into a capital increase and the acquisition of an additional 16% interest in Valin ArcelorMittal Automotive Steel (“VAMA”), a downstream automotive steel joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Valin Group in which the Company increased accordingly its stake from 33% to 49%.

 

On April 12, 2013, the Company reduced its stake in Coils Lamiere Nastri (CLN) S.p.a. from 35.00% to 24.55% through the exercise of put options. The cash consideration received was 57 and the gain on disposal recognized in income from investments in associates and joint ventures was 8, including a loss of 4 corresponding to the proportional reclassification of the accumulated negative foreign exchange translation reserve from other comprehensive income to the statements of operations.

4 billion Revolving Credit Facility

On May 6, 2010, ArcelorMittal entered into a $4 billion three-year Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. On September 30, 2011, the original maturity of the $4 billion Revolving Credit Facility was extended from May 6, 2013 to May 6, 2015. As of June 30, 2013, the facility remains fully available.

6 billion Revolving Credit Facility

On March 18, 2011, ArcelorMittal entered into a $6 billion revolving credit facility which may be utilized for general corporate purposes and which matures on March 18, 2016. As of June 30, 2013, the facility remains fully available.

Bonds

On June 26, 2013, ArcelorMittal completed a zero premium cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its 4.625% Euro- denominated notes due in November 2014.  ArcelorMittal accepted to purchase €139.5 million (184) principal amount of notes for a total aggregate purchase price (including accrued interest) of €150.1 million (198). Accordingly, this amount was reclassified to current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2013. Upon settlement for all of the notes accepted pursuant to the offer, which occurred on July 1, 2013, €360.5 million (472) principal amount of 4.625% Euro- denominated notes due in November 2014 remained outstanding.

On June 28, 2013, ArcelorMittal completed the early tender portion of a zero premium cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its 6.5% U.S. dollar denominated notes due in April 2014.  ArcelorMittal accepted to purchase 310.7 principal amount of notes for a total aggregate purchase price (including accrued interest) of 327.0. Accordingly, this amount was reclassified to current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2013. An additional 0.8 principal amount of notes for a total aggregate purchase price (including accrued interest) of 0.8 were accepted on the final settlement date of July 16, 2013. Accordingly, a total of 311.5 principal amount of notes were accepted for purchase, for a total aggregate purchase price (including accrued interest) of 327.8. Upon settlement for all of the notes accepted pursuant to the offer, 188.5 principal amount remained outstanding.

Other

Certain debt agreements of the Company or its subsidiaries contain certain restrictive covenants. Among other things, these covenants limit encumbrances on the assets of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries, the ability of ArcelorMittal’s subsidiaries to incur debt and ArcelorMittal’s ability to dispose of assets in certain circumstances. Certain of these agreements also require compliance with a financial covenant.

The Company’s principal credit facilities (4.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility, 6.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility) include the following financial covenant: the Company must ensure that the ratio of “Consolidated Total Net Borrowings” (consolidated total borrowings less consolidated cash and cash equivalents) to “Consolidated EBITDA” (the consolidated net pre-taxation profits of the Company for a Measurement Period, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the facilities) does not, at the end of each “Measurement Period” (each period of 12 months ending on the last day of a financial half-year or a financial year of the Company), exceed a 3.5 ratio.

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the agreements related to all of its borrowings as of June 30, 2013.

 

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates and the price of raw materials, energy and emission rights allowances arising from operating, financing and investment activities.

The following tables summarize the bases used to measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified into three levels based upon a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

F-12

 


 

 

The levels are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Significant inputs other than within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.: as prices) or indirectly (i.e.: derived from prices);

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data and require management assumptions or inputs from unobservable markets.

Available-for-sale financial assets classified as Level 1 refer to listed securities quoted in active markets. The total fair value is either the price of the most recent trade at the time of the market close or the official close price as defined by the exchange on which the asset is most actively traded on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The decrease in the available-for-sale financial assets is related to the Erdemir shares. Please refer to note 12 of ArcelorMittal’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 for additional information.

Derivative financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 refer to instruments to hedge fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, raw materials (base metal), freight, energy and emission rights. The total fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay or receive for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and the fair value is calculated using standard industry models based on significant observable market inputs such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, swap rates and interest rates.

Derivative financial liabilities classified as Level 3 refer to the conversion option in the €1.25 billion convertible bonds. Derivative financial assets classified as Level 3 refer to the euro-denominated call option on treasury shares and the call option on the 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds.

 

The fair valuation of Level 3 derivative instruments is established at each reporting date in relation to which an analysis is performed in respect of changes in the fair value measurement since the last period. ArcelorMittal’s valuation policies for Level 3 derivatives are an integral part of its internal control procedures and have been reviewed and approved according to the

F-13

 


 

 

Company’s principles for establishing such procedures. In particular, such procedures address the accuracy and reliability of input data, the accuracy of the valuation model and the knowledge of the staff performing the valuations.

ArcelorMittal establishes the fair valuation of the euro-denominated call option on treasury shares, the call option on the 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds and the conversion option with respect to the 1.25 billion convertible bonds through the use of binomial valuation models.

Regarding the use of unobservable inputs for the fair value measurement of Level 3 derivatives, the Company applies historical share prices for calculating option volatility and assumptions taken may have a potentially significant impact on fair value measurement.

Changes in fair value are recognized in financing costs-net.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the fair value of the conversion option classified as Level 3 with respect to the €1.25 billion convertible bonds, the euro-denominated call option on the Company’s own shares, the call option on the 1,000 mandatory convertible bonds as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively:

Portfolio of Derivatives

The Company manages the counter-party risk associated with its instruments by centralizing its commitments and by applying procedures which specify, for each type of transaction and underlying, risk limits and/or the characteristics of the counter-party. The Company does not generally grant to or require from its counter-parties guarantees of the risks incurred. Allowing for exceptions, the Company’s counter-parties are part of its financial partners and the related market transactions are governed by framework agreements (mainly of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow netting only in case of counter-party default). Accordingly, derivative assets and derivative liabilities are not offset.

NOTE 14 – CONTINGENCIES

 

ArcelorMittal may be involved in litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings. Provisions related to legal and arbitral proceedings are recorded in accordance with the principles described in note 2 to consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Most of these claims involve highly complex issues, actual damages and other matters. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a large number of these claims, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceeding. In those cases, the Company has disclosed information with respect to the nature of the contingency. The Company has not accrued a reserve for the potential outcome of these cases.

In the cases in which quantifiable fines and penalties have been assessed, the Company has indicated the amount of such fine or penalty or the amount of provision accrued that is the estimate of the probable loss.

In a limited number of ongoing cases, the Company is able to make a reasonable estimate of the expected loss or range of possible loss and has accrued a provision for such loss, but believe that publication of this information on a case-by-case basis would seriously prejudice the Company’s position in the ongoing legal proceedings or in any related settlement discussions. Accordingly, in these cases, the Company has disclosed information with respect to the nature of the contingency, but has not disclosed the estimate of the range of potential loss.

 

These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. These assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for the above matters are adequate based upon currently available information. However, given the inherent uncertainties related to these cases and in estimating contingent liabilities, the Company could, in the future, incur judgments that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period. The Company considers it highly unlikely, however, that any such judgments could have a material adverse effect on its liquidity or financial condition.

Tax Claims

Brazil

On December 9, 2010, ArcelorMittal Tubarão Comercial S.A. (“ArcelorMittal Tubarão”), the renamed successor of Companhia Siderurgica de Tubarão (“CST”) following CST’s spin-off of most of its assets to ArcelorMittal Brasil in 2008, received a tax assessment from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service relating to sales made by CST to Madeira Island, Portugal and the Cayman Islands. The tax assessment does not specify an amount. The tax authorities require that the profits of CST’s Madeira and Cayman Island subsidiaries be added to CST’s 2005 tax basis, and also that CST’s post-2005 tax basis be recalculated. Although CST did not pay taxes in 2005 due to tax losses, the recalculations required by the tax authorities could result in tax being payable by ArcelorMittal Tubarão. The case is in the first administrative instance and the Company presented its defense in January 2011. On March 23, 2011, ArcelorMittal Tubarão received a further tax assessment for 2006 and 2007 in the amount of 300, including amounts related to the first tax assessment regarding the profits of CST’s Madeira and Cayman Island subsidiaries. ArcelorMittal Tubarão filed its defense in April 2011. The first administrative instance issued decisions confirming the amount of the tax assessments and ArcelorMittal Tubarão Comercial S.A. filed appeals in April 2012.

The Brazilian social security administration has claimed against ArcelorMittal Brasil amounts for social security contributions not paid by outside civil construction service contractors for the 2001-2007 period. The amount claimed is 52. In February 2012, the first administrative instance issued a decision cancelling the tax assessment, which was confirmed by the administrative court in March 2013.

France

Following audits for 2006, 2007 and 2008 of ArcelorMittal France and other French ArcelorMittal entities, URSSAF, the French body responsible for collecting social contributions, commenced formal proceedings for these years alleging that the French ArcelorMittal entities owe €65 million in social contributions on various payments, the most significant of which relate to profit sharing schemes, professional fees and stock options. Proceedings were commenced in relation to the 2006 claims in December 2009. Proceedings were commenced in relation to the 2007 and 2008 claims in February and March 2010, respectively. In three decisions dated December 10, 2012, the arbitration committee hearing the matter found that social contributions in an amount of €15.3 million, €9.9 million and €4.7 million are due in respect of the profit-sharing schemes, stock options and professional fees, respectively. These amounts cover the audits for 2006, 2007 and 2008. These decisions are subject to appeal. In March 2013, the Company filed appeals against the decisions relating to the profit-sharing schemes and stock options.

Following audits for 2009, 2010 and 2011 of ArcelorMittal France and other French ArcelorMittal entities, URSSAF commenced formal proceedings in December 2012 for these years alleging that these entities owe €142 million in social contributions (including interest and late fees relating thereto) on various payments, the most significant of which relate to voluntary separation schemes, profit sharing schemes, professional fees and stock options. In its decision dated April 24, 2013, the arbitration committee reduced the amount claimed by €27 million. The dispute is now proceeding to the judicial phase before the Tribunal des Affaires de Sécurité Sociale

Ukraine

In September 2012, the Ukrainian tax authorities conducted an audit of ArcelorMittal Kryvih Rih, resulting in a tax claim of approximately 187. The claim relates to cancellation of VAT refunds, cancellation of deductible expenses and queries on transfer pricing calculations. On January 2, 2013, ArcelorMittal Kryvih Rih filed a lawsuit with the District Administrative Court to challenge the findings of this tax audit. A hearing date has not yet been set for this matter. On April 9, 2013, the District Administrative Court rejected the claim by the Ukrainian tax authorities in an amount of 187 and retained only a tax liability of approximately $0.2 million against ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih. Both parties have filed appeals.

 

Competition/Antitrust Claims

South Africa

On September 1, 2009, the South African Competition Commission referred a complaint against four producers of long carbon steel in South Africa, including ArcelorMittal South Africa, and the South African Iron and Steel Institute to the Competition Tribunal. The complaint referral followed an investigation into alleged collusion among the producers initiated in April 2008, on-site inspections conducted at the premises of some of the producers and a leniency application by Scaw South Africa, one of the producers under investigation. The Competition Commission recommended that the Competition Tribunal impose an administrative penalty against ArcelorMittal South Africa, Cape Gate and Cape Town Iron Steel Works in the amount of 10% of their annual revenues in South Africa and exports from South Africa for 2008. ArcelorMittal filed an application to access the file of the Competition Commission that was rejected. ArcelorMittal appealed the decision to reject the application, and applied for a review of that decision and a suspension of the obligation to respond to the referral on the substance pending final outcome on the application for access to the documents. The appeal was upheld by the Competition Appeals Court (CAC) and the matter was referred back to the Competition Tribunal for a determination of confidentiality and scope of access to the documents. The Competition Commission appealed the decision of the CAC and on May 31, 2013, the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of the Competition Commission and confirmed the decision of the CAC. On July 7, 2011, ArcelorMittal filed an application before the Competition Tribunal to set aside the complaint referral based on procedural irregularities. It is too early for ArcelorMittal to assess the potential outcome of the procedure, including the financial impact.

Other Legal Claims

United States

In July 2004, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (the “IEPA”) notified Indiana Harbor East that it had identified that facility as a potentially responsible party in connection with alleged contamination relating to Hillside Mining Co. (“Hillside”), a company that Indiana Harbor East acquired in 1943, operated until the late 1940s and whose assets it sold in the early 1950s, in conjunction with the corporate dissolution of that company. ArcelorMittal was not ultimately required to enter into a consent decree to clean up portions of the former mining site. In 2012, two of the parties that did execute a consent decree sued other potentially responsible parties, including ArcelorMittal USA, to recover current and future investigation, clean-up and agency response costs.  The defendants agreed to mediation and five of the six defendants (including ArcelorMittal USA) settled with the plaintiffs for liability for all investigation and remediation costs covered by the consent decree. On June 29, 2013, the Court entered an order barring the non-settling defendant and other parties to the consent order from seeking any additional costs from the settling defendants.

Argentina

Over the course of 2007 to 2012, the Customs Office Authority of Argentina (Aduana) notified the Company of certain inquiries that it is conducting with respect to prices declared by the Company’s Argentinean subsidiary, Acindar Industria Argentina de Aceros S.A. (“Acindar”). The Customs Office Authority is seeking to determine whether Acindar incorrectly declared prices for iron ore imports from several different Brazilian suppliers on 28 different shipments made from 2002 to 2008. The aggregate amount claimed by the Customs Office Authority in respect of all of the shipments is approximately 79. The investigations are subject to the administrative procedures of the Customs Office Authority and are at different procedural stages depending on the filing date of the investigation. In February 2013, in 10 cases, the administrative branch of the Customs Office Authority ruled against Acindar.  These decisions have been appealed to the National Fiscal Court.

Brazil

Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (“Vale”) has commenced arbitration proceedings against ArcelorMittal España in Brazil, claiming damages arising from allegedly defective rails supplied by ArcelorMittal España to Vale for the Carajas railway in Brazil, which Vale alleges caused a derailment on the railway line. Vale quantifies its claim as 64. Initial submissions were filed by the parties on November 26, 2009 and rebuttals were filed on January 29, 2010. The expert’s report was issued on November 7, 2011. In December 2012, the parties agreed to settle the matter, and the settlement documentation was executed on May 14, 2013.  The case is now terminated.

Italy

In January 2010, ArcelorMittal received notice of a claim filed by Finmasi S.p.A. relating to a memorandum of agreement (“MoA”) entered into between ArcelorMittal Distribution Services France (“AMDS”) and Finmasi in 2008.  The MoA provided that AMDS would acquire certain of Finmasi’s businesses for an amount not to exceed €93 million, subject to certain conditions precedent, which, in AMDS’s view, were not fulfilled.  Finmasi sued for (i) enforcement of the MoU, (ii) damages of €14 million to €23.7 million or (iii) recovery costs plus quantum damages for Finmasi’s alleged lost opportunity to sell to another buyer.  In September 2011, the court rejected Finmasi’s claims other than its second claim. The Court appointed an expert to determine the quantum of damages. ArcelorMittal has appealed the decision on the merits and such appeal is pending.  In May 2013, the expert’s report was issued and valued the quantum of damages in the range of €37.5 million to €59.5 million.

 

Luxembourg

In June 2012, the Company received writs of summons in respect of claims made by 59 former employees of ArcelorMittal Luxembourg. The claimants allege that they are owed compensation based on the complementary pension scheme that went into effect in Luxembourg in January 2000. The aggregate amount claimed by such former employees (knowing that other former employees may be similarly concerned) is approximately 78. In April 2013, the Esch-sur-Alzette labor court rejected two of these claims. The plaintiffs are appealing the decisions. The other outstanding claims based on similar grounds remain in the hearing stage.

Senegal

In 2007, ArcelorMittal Holdings AG entered into an agreement with the State of Senegal relating to an integrated iron ore mining and related infrastructure project. The Company announced at the time that implementation of the project would entail an aggregate investment of 2.2 billion. Project implementation did not follow the originally anticipated schedule after initial phase studies and related investments.

The Company engaged in discussions with the State of Senegal about the project over a long period. In early 2011, the parties engaged in a conciliation procedure, as provided for under their agreement, in an attempt to reach a mutually acceptable outcome. Following the unsuccessful completion of this procedure, in May 2011 the State of Senegal commenced an arbitration before the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, claiming breach of contract and provisionally estimating damages of 750. Hearings took place in September 2012 and a decision on the merits (but not as to damages) is expected during the second half of 2013. Briefings and hearings as to damages could follow depending on the decision.

South Africa

ArcelorMittal South Africa (“AMSA”) received notice from Sishen Iron Ore Company (Proprietary) Limited (“SIOC”) on February 5, 2010, asserting that with effect from March 1, 2010, it would no longer supply iron ore to AMSA on a cost plus 3% basis as provided for in the supply agreement entered into between the parties in 2001, on the grounds that AMSA had lost its 21.4% share in the mineral rights at the Sishen mine and that this was a prerequisite for the supply agreement terms. AMSA rejected this assertion and stated its firm opinion that SIOC is obligated to continue to supply iron ore to AMSA at cost plus 3%. The parties commenced an arbitration process in 2010 to resolve this dispute. Proceedings were suspended in light of the legal action summarized in the second paragraph below and remain suspended pending its completion.  The Company is not currently able to assess the risk of loss.

F-21

 


 

 

On July 22, 2010, AMSA announced that an interim arrangement had been reached with SIOC on pricing for the supply of iron ore to AMSA’s production facilities in South Africa during an interim period effective from March 1, 2010 until July 31, 2011. AMSA and SIOC agreed on a fixed price of 50 per metric tonne of iron ore for lump material for delivery to the Saldanha plant, and 70 per metric tonne for both lump and iron ore fine material delivered to AMSA’s inland plants. The parties further agreed that AMSA would continue to purchase annual quantities of 6.25 million metric tonnes of iron ore, that there would be no escalation in the prices agreed for the duration of the interim period, and that any iron ore in addition to the maximum monthly amount would be purchased by AMSA at the then-prevailing spot prices calculated on an export parity price basis. AMSA initially imposed a surcharge on its domestic sales to compensate for some of the iron ore cost increase. However, in view of the interim agreement, AMSA, with effect from August 1, 2010, charged a single all-in price reflecting the higher cost of iron ore, rather than the separate surcharge. On May 16, 2011, an addendum to the interim agreement was executed extending it until July 31, 2012. On August 23, 2012, AMSA announced the entry into an agreement (the “2012 Pricing Agreement”) with SIOC whereby SIOC would sell to AMSA a maximum amount of 1.5 million tonnes of iron ore from the Sishen mine until December 31, 2012, on materially the same terms and conditions as applied under the extended interim pricing agreement entered into in 2010 and as extended in May 2011 (the “2010 and 2011 Interim Pricing Agreement”). This supply for the remainder of 2012 was agreed to be in full and final settlement of any claimed entitlement by AMSA to shortfall tonnage incurred during the pendency of the 2010 and 2011 Interim Pricing Agreement.  On December 13, 2012, AMSA announced that it had reached an agreement (the “2013 Pricing Agreement”) with SIOC pursuant to which SIOC will sell iron ore from the Sishen mine to AMSA with effect from January 1, 2013. Under the 2013 Pricing Agreement, SIOC will supply a maximum annual volume of 4.8 million tonnes of iron ore to AMSA at a weighted average price of 65 per tonne. The other terms and conditions will be materially the same as those which were contained in the 2012 Pricing Agreement. The 2013 Pricing Agreement will apply until the earlier of December 31, 2013 or the conclusion of the arbitration between the parties regarding the status of the 2001 Sishen supply agreement. The 2010 and 2011 Interim Pricing Agreement, the 2012 Pricing Agreement and the 2013 Pricing Agreement have no bearing on the arbitration process currently underway or AMSA’s conviction that the 2001 Sishen supply agreement remains legally valid and binding on the parties.

AMSA announced on August 10, 2010 that it had entered into an agreement, subject to certain conditions, to acquire ICT, a company that in May 2010 had acquired the right to prospect for iron ore in a 21.4% share in the Sishen mine. The acquisition agreement lapsed in 2011. SIOC brought legal action against the South African government and ICT to challenge the grant of the prospecting right to ICT and, on February 4, 2011, served on AMSA an application to join AMSA in this action. ICT also made an application to the government for a mining right in respect of the 21.4% share in the Sishen Mine, which SIOC challenged. AMSA applied to be joined as applicant in these proceedings and on June 6, 2011, the Court ordered AMSA’s joinder. AMSA argued in the proceedings that SIOC holds 100% of the rights in the Sishen mine. On December 15, 2011, the Court ruled that SIOC holds 100% of the rights in the Sishen mine and set aside the grant of the prospecting right to ICT. Both ICT and the South African government filed applications for leave to appeal this judgment on February 3, 2012. Leave to appeal was granted on May 11, 2012 and a hearing date for the appeal was set for February 19, 2013. The appeal by ICT and the South African government was rejected by a judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal dated March 28, 2013.  ICT and the South African government have applied for leave to appeal to the Constitutional Court, which the Constitutional Court has agreed to hear on September 3, 2013.  At the same time, the Constitutional Court will also address the merits of the appeal.

Minority Shareholder Claims Regarding the Exchange Ratio in the Second-Step Merger of ArcelorMittal into Arcelor

ArcelorMittal is the company that results from the acquisition of Arcelor by Mittal Steel N.V. in 2006 and a subsequent two-step merger between Mittal Steel and ArcelorMittal and then ArcelorMittal and Arcelor.  Following completion of this merger process, several former minority shareholders of Arcelor or their representatives brought legal proceedings regarding the exchange ratio applied in the second-step merger between ArcelorMittal and Arcelor and the merger process as a whole.

ArcelorMittal believes that the allegations made and claims brought by such minority shareholders are without merit and risk of loss is therefore remote and that the exchange ratio and process complied with the requirements of applicable law, were consistent with previous guidance on the principles that would be used to determine the exchange ratio in the second-step merger and that the merger exchange ratio was relevant and reasonable to shareholders of both merged entities.

The following summarizes the current status of proceedings brought by minority shareholders in this regard that remain pending:

In June and July 2007, two hedge funds that were shareholders of Arcelor wrote to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (the Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten, or the “AFM”), the Dutch securities regulator, requesting it to take various measures against Mittal Steel relating in particular to disclosure regarding the proposed exchange ratio. On August 17, 2007 the AFM rejected the claimants’ demands.  On September 20, 2007, the claimants filed formal objections with the AFM against the decision of August 17, 2007. On February 4, 2008, the AFM confirmed its decision of August 17, 2007. On March 13, 2008, the claimants lodged an appeal against the AFM’s decision with the Rotterdam Administrative Court. By judgment dated December 10, 2008, the Court nullified the AFM’s decision of February 4, 2008, on the grounds that the AFM’s limited investigation was an insufficient basis for its decision, and requiring it to conduct a further investigation and issue a new decision. On appeal from ArcelorMittal and the AFM, a specialized Court of Appeals for administrative matters involving the corporate sector (CBB) in The Hague on June 7, 2012 nullified the judgment of the Rotterdam Administrative Court of December 10, 2008

F-22

 


 

 

and declared the original appeal to the Rotterdam Administrative Court of one of the claimants to be inadmissible and dismissed the other claimant's demands. This judgment is not open to further appeal.

On January 8, 2008, ArcelorMittal received a writ of summons on behalf of four hedge fund shareholders of Arcelor to appear before the civil court of Luxembourg. The summons was also served on all natural persons sitting on the Board of Directors of ArcelorMittal at the time of the merger and on the Significant Shareholder. The plaintiffs alleged in particular that, based on Mittal Steel’s and Arcelor’s disclosure and public statements, investors had a legitimate expectation that the exchange ratio in the second-step merger would be the same as that of the secondary exchange offer component of Mittal Steel’s June 2006 tender offer for Arcelor (i.e., 11 Mittal Steel shares for seven Arcelor shares), and that the second-step merger did not comply with certain provisions of Luxembourg company law.  They claimed, inter alia, the cancellation of certain resolutions (of the Board of Directors and of the Shareholders meeting) in connection with the merger, the grant of additional shares or damages in an amount of €180 million. By judgment dated November 30, 2011, the Luxembourg civil court declared all of the plaintiffs’ claims inadmissible and dismissed them. This judgment was appealed in mid-May 2012. The appeal proceedings are pending.

On May 15, 2012, ArcelorMittal received a writ of summons on behalf of Association Actionnaires d'Arcelor (AAA), a French association of former minority shareholders of Arcelor, to appear before the civil court of Paris. On grounds comparable to those alleged by the plaintiffs in the Luxembourg proceedings described above, AAA claims inter alia damages in an amount of €60,049 and reserves the right to seek additional remedies including the cancellation of the merger. The proceedings before the civil court of Paris are stayed, pursuant to a ruling of such court on July 4, 2013, pending a preparatory investigation (instruction préparatoire) by a criminal judge magistrate (juge d’instruction) triggered by the complaints (plainte avec constitution de partie civile) of AAA and several hedge funds, including those who filed the claims before the Dutch and Luxembourg courts described above.

 

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On July 16, 2013, ArcelorMittal and ArcelorMittal USA LLC (“AM USA”) announced the expiration and final results of the tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of AM USA’s 500 6.500% notes due April 15, 2014, the launch of which was previously announced on June 17, 2013. On July 1, 2013, following the closing of the early tender offer, the final aggregate principal amount of existing bonds tendered was 311 representing approximately 62.14% of the outstanding notes. ArcelorMittal and AM USA made a payment for a total aggregate purchase price of 327 (including accrued interest and excluding related fees). Between the early tender time and the expiration time, ArcelorMittal and AM USA received tenders in respect of 1 aggregate principal amount of notes, all of which have been accepted for purchase. The total cash payment to purchase such notes  including accrued interest was 1. The final aggregate principal amount of the existing bonds that remained outstanding after the tender is 188.

 

 

NOTE 16 – CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”, IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine”, the amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” (“IAS19R”), to IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” , to IAS 28 “Investments in Associates”, to IFRS 7“Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. It adopted also various minor amendments of five standards in the framework of Annual Improvements.

Accordingly, the Company has applied retrospectively all standards, interpretations and amendments of standards for all periods presented. The Company did not identify any material impact with respect to the adoption of IFRS 10, IFRIC 20 and the amendments to IAS 27, IAS 28 and IFRS 7. It adopted the new accounting policy for joint arrangements in accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 11. In accordance with this new standard, investments in joint arrangements are classified either as joint operations when the investor has rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement or joint ventures when the investor has rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement, depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. ArcelorMittal has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined that Peña Colorada (Mexico, Mining), Double G and I/N Tek (USA, Flat Carbon Americas) and a galvanizing coating line in Canada (Flat Carbon Americas) are joint operations. The Company, which previously accounted for these investments under the equity method, has recognized in relation to its interest in the joint operation its assets including its share of any assets held jointly, its liabilities including its share of any liabilities held jointly, its share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation, and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

Following the adoption of the amendments to IAS 19, the liability for defined benefit plans has been adjusted to the present value of the defined benefit obligation deducting the fair value of the plan assets and all previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses have been recognized net of tax in other comprehensive income. Actuarial gains and losses are no longer amortized over time through the statements of operations following the former “corridor approach” but are recognized in other

F-23

 


 

 

comprehensive income. In addition, the discount rate of the defined benefit obligation and the return on plan assets are replaced by one single net interest cost on the net liability.

Also, as a result of the amendments to IAS 1, items of Other Comprehensive Income are now required to be grouped on the basis of whether or not they are potentially recyclable to profit or loss subsequently and presented accordingly.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 and the amendments of IAS 19, the effects of the change in accounting policies on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position at December 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in net equity and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are summarized below. There was no impact in the condensed consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.
